Why isn't "QUO" an accepted Scrabble word?

And pizzaz. :slight_smile:

To say nothing of “fez.”

Ataraxy22, Chronos, bless both of you. A couple of years ago I went to a Scrabble night at the local community center, thinking “I like words, and I especially like crosswords - might be a nice way to meet other lexical types.” I was appalled when the best player that night sniffed that “A real Scrabble player doesn’t care about definitions.”

At that point I realized that the fact that the tiles had letters on them was utterly irrelevant - this was an elaborate mathematical game that tested players’ abilities to memorize code permutations. Very disappointing.
